Empty leg flights

A one-way flight a private aircraft has to make with nobody on board, to get home or to reach its next client. The operator offers that flight for less than a dedicated charter.

Each listing shows the price for the whole aircraft in USD, before Federal excise tax. Where a saving is shown, it is measured against our estimate of a full one-way charter on the same route and jet size.

No. The details of each leg show an estimate of taxes and fees, and your quote shows the final all-in price.

Choose a leg and send an enquiry. Our desk confirms the aircraft, the date and the final price with the operator, then sends you the quote to accept. Nothing is charged when you enquire.

Yes. The flight is flown by a licensed charter operator with the same aircraft, crew and maintenance standards as a full charter. In the US, charter operators are licensed and overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Operators share discounted legs on the condition that they are not advertised under their name. You see who operates the flight on your quote, before you commit.

Usually days, sometimes a few weeks. A leg exists only once the original charter is booked, so an alert for your route is the surest way to hear about it first.

Ask for a full charter quote on the same route. You choose the date and time, and we check for a matching empty leg while we source it.

Yes, if the original charter changes. We always offer a full-charter alternative.

Usually not; timing follows the original booking.

Yes. The price is for the aircraft, not per seat.

Yes, within the aircraft's limits, the same as a full charter.
